Warning – Fake Microsoft messages

I’ve been receiving emails for a couple of weeks, purportedly coming from Microsoft, telling me I needed to click on a link in order to verify my account as they were changing the terms and conditions of service. Being security conscious, I’d always carefully scrutinised the message headers and noted that they DIDN’T emanate from Microsoft, so realised they were a scam – phishing emails.
Yesterday however, I received an email which seemed completely genuine, so I clicked on the link. I was taken to a website with the Microsoft logo and login. Having put in my username and password, I was shown an error message – ‘The site is currently unavailable, please try later’.
Within a couple of hours, I had an alert from Microsoft that my account had been logged into from Rumania.
I’ve changed the password and enabled dual-factor authentication so should be secure again, but this is a warning to all, particularly if you have Outlook/Hotmail/Microsoft accounts, but the same presumably applies to Gmail etc: do not click on any link asking you to change your password, unless you know your account has been compromised.
I’m now kicking myself for my gullibility!

CUDECA Appeal for Cards

Many thanks to all the people who have donated their used Christmas cards. We got a wonderful response. Keep them coming as our volunteers are sitting with scissors glueand sparkle in hand waiting to begin for next year.

We still have Calendars for sale at 3 euros each for this year. They are very good value.

Thank you for helping to Put Life into Days for very ill people.

Regards, Mary Lynch. Nerja CUDECA shop.

Services Available The Ultimate Windows Maintenence Service

DoctorLaptop’s Jan&Feb 2016 Special

This service goes much deeper that the typical Clean and Tuneup.

Using professional strength tools I will clear system of all malware, adware and unnecessary old system files, optimize performance and networking, check for and correct hard disk and System errors, update all programs and drivers, and install 2 browser protection add-on. Price 50 euros (reg. 75 euros). These are the tools I use on every “Ultimate” cleanup on Windows machines.

ESET OnLine, Malwarebytes, Ccleaner-Pro, RogueKiller and RKill, Little Reg Cleaner, Junkware Removal Tool, ADWCleaner, Hitman Pro, HiJackThis, ComboFix, ASC-Pro, GiveMePower, IObit Uninstaller Tool, Ghostery, AdBlock+, NetAdapter, TDSSKiller, SpinRite and Scannow.

Units with hardware problems, that won’t start-up properly or showing serious Error Messages need a repair, not this maintenance. Please do a backup of your data before bringing in your computer for this service because any infected data or data/programs damaged by malware will be removed. If you have no backup and want me to do a full system image backup for you bring an external hard disk to store it on. You can buy a 1 Tb backup drive for about 70 euros at any shop selling computer accessories. I will add a small data transfer charge depending on how data you have. Due to the numerous, lengthy system scans involved the job needs to be done at my lab and takes 2 to 3 days.

Services Available – Solar Panels . Responses to David

(1)

David – More information is needed on which to base any advice. What rating are the solar panels, is the controller MPPT or other, what type of inverter are you using, what size are the batteries, etc. I would be prepared to give you any advice I can, I run my own solar installation, on a personal basis – email me, TonyB, on: dgm0113 (at) theberrys (dot) org

(2)

David asks about solar power.

when we bought our house in 1994, we inherited 1 panel and 1 12v car battery – we added a panel and new batteries, and managed for many years with just this – with gas appliances for water heating/fridge etc. This time of year was always a struggle as the days are still too short. We didn’t have the luxury of LED bulbs then, as they simply weren’t around! It sounds like you are using more power than you are generating. Do you have any gauges/meters so you know exactly what you are producing each day? Are the panels dusty if you live near a track? this can cut down the input dramatically. Are the batteries in good enough condition that they are holding their charge?

When we eventually had access to mains power, we kept the solar system as well, and 2 years ago upgraded it so that the house is all 220 volt, but all power comes from the batteries, with mains just being used very occasionally to charge them if they don’t cope. Our system was put in by Robert and Roger of Competa Solar Sundays, and we are more than satisfied with it. Robert has unfortunately retired, but Roger the electrician is still working (competaroger at yahoo dot co dot uk), and may be able to help

Hope this helps – if David wants to get in touch directly with me for advice, please do so

Can anyone suggest a good contact who is able to help ?
We have an installation of solar electric supply which seems unable to store enough power in the 4×12 volt (48 volt) batteries to see us through the evening whilst we watch TV , charge iPads and have low wattage LED lights on.
We do not have access to mains electric and depend on this system for all electricity.
We are having to use a generator to recharge the battery bank very frequently.
The two English men who installed the system will not be being contacted again ,hence the desperate plea !

You are feeling that you have an excessive consumption of electricity when the customers are renting your house.

It is very easy just to put an electricity domestic meter next to the main distribution panel (fuse box) in your house. It is not necessary any hole on the walls.

You take the measure of the meter (perhaps also the cleaner could take

a photo of the electricity domestic meter) before and after the accommodation of your customer, so the customer would pay you the consumption of the electricity

(KWh)

You can have the possibility to reduce the rent of your house

Friday Jan. 15^th Valentin (2002)

(Argentina – 86 min.) Comedy/drama/romance. Written and Directed by Alejandro Agresti – In 1967 Buenos Aires, eight-year-old Valentin (Rodrigo Noya) is a boy that dreams of becoming an astronaut. He is being raised by his poor widowed grandmother, Abuela (Carmen Maura), and feels totally abandoned by his parents. His mother has apparently forgotten him, and his father (director Alejandro Agresti) does not pay much attention to him. This smart but needy kid misses having closeness with his mother and, when his father introduces his new girlfriend, Leticia (Julietta Cardinale), Valentin feels strongly drawn to her. Meanwhile, his grandmother gets sick, and Valentin tries to resolve all his family problems using persuasion and his viewpoint of life. He also tries to match Leticia with his great teacher, Rufo (Max Urtizberea). In Spanish with English subtitles.

Preceded by: Palestinian Chicken (2011)

(US–30 min.) Comedy episode, written by and starring Larry David.

Larry plays “social assassin” to the hilt at a dinner party, on the golf course, and at a Palestinian restaurant with chicken to die for. In English.

Easy Jet Tickets for Sale

I have 2 return tickets for Malaga – Berlin on the 1^st of February returning on the 5^th , plus 1 ticket for Liverpool – Malaga 30^th march returning to Liverpool 3^rd April . due to illness we are unable to use , anyone interested in taking them of our hands please contact me at dlee1952@hotmail.com

Renewing Passports – (1) I don’t know why people are having trouble renewing their passports. If in doubt go onto the British Consulates web site and all information is there. I have renewed 2 in the past 2 years. First go to the photo shop in the Calle Andaluzcia , on the main road nearly next door to the Police Station in Torre del Mar. Ask for photos for Britain (they are a different size to those needed in Spain). Then go on line and fill in the online renewal form. You can pay for the new passport online. Take all necessay documents to any main Post Office and get the equivalent of registering it. The passport office will send it back by courier. Send for renewal now and it will not take very long. Remember if it has not completely run out they will give you the extra period. Gina (2) Passport renewal – again. Strictly speaking John’s comment in Digame may have some merit – but we must also take into account the fact that the passport office couldn’t care less where you ‘live’, there is for example no requirement to notify change of address. If one is on extended vacation abroad away from ‘home’ and apply for a renewal – no point in having it sent to your home address!! Many ex-pats also have more than one house, some even three, in various countries- which one to send it to? The criteria here I think is a recognised address to which the new passport can be sent and received securely. A.R.

Editor writes – Please do not send me any more entries on this subject. Now closed. Jane

Question – Writing Group ?

I understand there was a Writing Group that met regularly in Supersol Torre Del Mar. Now that store has closed the upper area where meetings were held the Group has moved elsewhere.

I was given a contact address <Hannah@streamwriting.com> but this is not recognised. If the Group is still active I would be interested in joining.

Before moving to Spain I wrote a regular column for ‘The Chichester Observer’ and several other publications. Out here most of my time has been devoted to painting but am now 23,000 words into a novel and a series of short stories.

If there is a Writing Group somewhere ‘Out there’ in the Velez Malaga (Where I live), Torre Del Mar area perhaps they would get in touch via

Thank you! A Marmalade Success

I would like to thank all the kind people who were generous enough to spend a moment to my inquiry regarding a search for ‘pectin’ which was called for in a marmalade recipe I had.

Most eveyone concurred that marmalade made from bitter Sevilla oranges did not require the addition of pectin…that the pips contained enough for a good setting.

My delema was that I wanted to use the sweeter, seedless oranges that I had fresh picked from my own trees! So I experimented and I did in fact use these very oranges, with the addition of a lemon. The whites were skinned off of the peels, which were then sliced very thinly, water and sugar was added and the mixture boiled to the setpoint recommended for marmalades. The result was a superb marmalade: sweet but tangy, with a lovely color and consistancy! A marmalade success! 🙂

Passports

I agree with John, giving false information is a criminal offence.

On reading John’s post I thought his comment was aimed at me, the other Tony that was on the earlier post.

I started drafting an email with anger, nearly got to the finish when I went back on the post and realised it was another Tony.

I quickly deleted the draft email. My application was successful using the link provided and I hope this has been of help to others.

I shall now call myself Tony T to stop any confusion, it has been known people have called me other names. Ha. Ha.

Sending a”Link” in an Email….

Just thought there may be others out there who are not sure how to send a link in an email so here is one explanation.

Display the web page you wish to send in your browser (Christine was looking at Sur, Spanish). Left click on the address in the long box at the top of the page to select it and it will change colour. Without moving your mouse, click the right -hand mouse button then left click on ‘Copy’ in the drop-down menu. You have now copied the web page address to your ‘Clipboard’.

Go to the email you want to send (I use Gmail but most email clients have similar functions) and left click on the ‘Chain-link’ symbol at the bottom of the page. A new box is now displayed, right click in the text box next to where it says Web Page then go down to ‘Paste’ in the drop-down menu and left click. You will see your web page address displayed in the box. Click OK and you should see a web page link displayed in blue like this http://www.diariosur.es/ in your email.

Sounds complicated but when you come to do it you should find it quite straight forward.

Hope Christine and a few others find this helpful. Derek

Services Available Filter System & Anti Bacterial System

Many times the water supply is contaminated with e.coli bacteria, this very common in the campo at this moment. With both systems UV light filter system and reverse osmosis system the water is safe for drinking and cooking, etc.

The UV light filter system completely removed the e.coli bacteria with other bacteria too , and the Reverse osmosis system removed a majority of the total dissolved solids (t.d.s.) particles from the water (95% of dissolved solids plus, 99% of organic compounds)

Water of lower mineralization are most suitable in general for the elderly, People with kidney stones, those with severe hypertension or fluid retention and for babies.

It produces enough water to satisfy a family and can be installed hidden under the sink.

I advise anyone living in the countryside to have their water analysed, as you may not realize the quality of the water from the wells that you have in your houses, and as you must know of the dangers of e.coli bacteria ,

Responses – Pectin – Not Needed

You don’t need pectin to make marmalade. I make it most years using the Seville oranges off the pueblo trees in Torrox (collect them before the town hall remove them all and dump them!). The pectin is in the pips so put them all into a net/muslin bag and boil them together the peel, juice and water for the 2 hours or so it takes to reduce the liquid by half. Then remove the pips and squeeze out all the pectin from them. Then add the sugar and bring to setting point. Barbara

Keys Found in Competa

These keys were found in Cómpeta on the Carril de Circunvalación on Friday evening, 1st January. Anyone wishing to claim them, please call 625 78 21 73 after 11am.

Increased Mail Charges

If you don’t already know, postage charges went up on 1st January.

Letters to Europe now 1.15 euros and within Spain 0.45 euros.

Finding Products in Shops

Spanish supermarkets do stock almost all the products you can buy in the UK. Eroski in the El Ingenio shopping centre at Velez Malága has half an aisle of gluten free products and a range of sugars and sugar substitutes.

Strangely though, they are usually made by Spanish companies, and have Spanish written on them, so you need to learn the Spanish words relevant to you. There is an aisle with a big Union flag that sells things from the UK, but you pay over the odds for a familiar brand name and packaging.

Carrefour on the way to Malága also has huge range of foods for those with dietary intolerances.
For the rare products Arkwrights at Puente Don Manuel is great. You can buy Certo pectin there and preserving sugar, as well as things like malt extract and uncommon herbs and spices.

Having made 30 jars of marmalade this year though I have not needed to add extra pectin. The gelling effect is dependent on the concentration of pectin of course but also the amount of sugar and the acidity. Pectin is in the peel and pips, and in apples if you need more. Once you have extracted it by boiling or pressure cooking you can chuck the debris away. Acidity is controlled by adding lemon juice.

Sweet oranges are not very acid, which is why Seville oranges are preferred for marmalade. Be prepared to boil and boil though, particularly if you are in the mountains as the temperatures things cook at are affected by altitude.
Finally, if you need more jars you will find the Chinese bazaars sell them as cheap as chips.

DoctorLaptop’s Tips #45 and January Special

Windows 10 is now stable enough to trust for your primary computer. As always, do a full backup onto an external storage device of any data you value first. Anyone who loses data, for any reason, has no one to blame but themselves in today’s computer environment! Everyone must do backups or risk data loss, that’s just the way it is.

Early Win 7 computers are never going to run Win 10 properly due to hardware issues. There are now tests for this. But considering laptops have an expected 6 year lifespan with average use, it may be time to retire those old laptops. Well maintained towers will last longer. Computers that shipped with Win 8.1 pre-installed should upgrade fine. Units less than 7 years old that originally had Win 7 or Win 8 installed will also upgrade ok but a few of the new Win 10 features will be unavailable, like Cortana personal assistant. The free upgrade to Windows 10 expires July 29 this year. So unless you are dedicated to running Win 7 until it becomes obsolete in early 2020 (and many are) now is the time to upgrade without paying for it. There are certain procedures that must be done to prepare a computer for a successful upgrade to Win 10. If you are doing it yourself check Google search or my blog site for these procedures. Then visit your computer manufacturer’s website for their Win 10 upgrade info. There may be warnings there you need to read concerning your specific model.

SPECIAL DEAL for January 2016: Want to upgrade to Windows 10 but not confident you can do it yourself? Let me do it for you, only 70 euros. I will test your unit first with my plug-in version of Win 10. You are welcome to watch me do the test (it only takes 15 minutes) to be sure it will work, so there is no risk involved. Thus you can try Win 10 on your unit before it is installed! If your unit fails then there is no charge! But again, always backup your data before any major changes, including this upgrade.
Mobile: 689 721 916, no calls before 11am please.

IPTV

There was a question recently about IPTV provision. I know next to nothing about it (fairly obvious now!) but a word of warning – I responded to a ‘special offer’ of an IPTV box (Zidoo X1) for 150 euros. In ignorance I bought it, only to find out later that Amazon.es sell them for 55 euros! My advice is to ask the service provider which IPTV box they supply and then check out prices elsewhere. Tony

Work on Torrox Beach –

I don’t know how to send the link (!) but there is an article in SUR newspaper about this.
Go to SUR (Spanish) and click on Malaga.
Work has been started to build a breakwater and the piles of sand are part of this. However the work has now been delayed until April 1st to protect a “mollusc” community in this area (in the photo it looks like clams).
Ecologists in Action opposed the construction of this breakwater because of the damage it would do to fish/shellfish etc in the area.
Maybe this will appear in SUR in English.

English car insurance – response

The rules are the same in Spain. When my husband died our car was insured fully comprehensive in his name and any driver over 25. The policy still had 4 months to run and I went to our big insurance broker in Nerja to change into my name. They told me it was ok to leave it till it was time to renew. As my husband had been in the insurance industry all his working life and I’d picked up a bit of info over the years I knew this was not so. I insisted on canceling the policy and reinsured in my name with another broker.
I later realized the ITV was due and being peak time could not get an appointment before due date. My new broker said it was ok as you had 15 or 30 days grace period.
The police were doing a traffic documents check near me and I asked if this was so. They said this was not, and If stopped it would be a fine with no current ITV. Also my insurance would be invalid.
I wonder can anyone set up as insurance brokers with no training or knowledge of the insurance industry.
Patricia.

Services Available Solution for Electricity supply problem pic

Many times, when there is a storm (thunder/lightning), the supply will often trip out, it is always the main switch (RCD/RCB) “Interruptor diferencial in Spain” in the consumer unit that trips. When you are away, you need a continuous service in fridge, alarm, swimming pool, that requires a continuous electricity supply.

In this case, it is possible to install a Self-reclosing RCCB to ensure service continuity.

Little Podenco Needs a Home

Another homeless pup desperately needing a home. This is Minnie, she turned up at our house in the campo near Archez about 8 weeks ago, painfully thin and barely able to walk. We have been feeding and taking care of her since then, but as much as we’ve grown to love her, we cannot keep her. She is approx 6 months old, incredibly friendly and loving, playful, loves other dogs and great with our 18 month old son. She has been checked over by a vet, flee’d and wormed, has started her vaccinations and help will be available for neutering. She won’t need much exercise and just wants a lap to curl up on! If anyone can offer her a permanent or even a foster home, please telephone or whatsapp Nicola on 657 149 284 or emailphillymc@fastmail.fm

Passport Renewals

(1)

In answer to the request about renewal, several years back I simply stated on the application that I was still in UK (it’s only for posting the new passport anyway) and after filling in the online forms, sent them to my daughters address, who forwarded them to the passport office, the new one went to my daughter who forwarded it onto me. Cost I believe at the time about £75.

Cheers Tony

(2)

You can apply for it online https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports

Just go through the process, it’s easy.

When posting your old passport make sure it goes by a courier or other safe way via Correos with a recorded delivery option.

It goes to Belfast and if your old passport still has up to six months to run it is added onto your new passport.

Make sure you get a picture taken correctly sized as the passport office is very strict. I got mine done at Torre Del Mar next to the main police station.

When getting a picture taken tell the assistant you want it for a U.K. passport, she is very accommodating.

English Car Insurance 2 – Response :-

I had a similar problem a couple of years ago. A dear friend was terminally ill and we flew back for 4 weeks. I’d intended to hire a car but he told me to use his. His wife didn’t drive and it would be helpful for me to run her around. No insurance company would let me have insurance on a vehicle I didn’t own. I tried with direct contact and through brokers. The only way was to be added to his car insurance as a named driver. This cost £40 pro rata, the policy had about 4 months left. As it turned out there was quite a bit of ‘running around’ to do, my pal died in the third week. One visit with his wife to their insurance broker to sort a few things out dropped a bombshell. Since the exact time of his death, his car insurance was invalid and I’d been driving it for a few days with no insurance.

Not good and this must happen frequently as there are many insurance policies with named drivers!

Recommendation – Laptop Expertise

Thought I should share with your readers the good experience that I have just had getting a recent problem with my laptop sorted out. I received what was a potential spam email form Microsoft and foolishly I had clicked on a link in the email. A friend recommended me to Naythan, Dr Laptop in Nerja. He was able to run various programmes which checked for any infections in my laptop and then he gave me various pieces of advice for handling these sort of problems if they occur in the future. Additionally he advised me on several matters relating to a laptop which I own in Germany which I found particularly useful and all for a very reasonable small fee. Contact details are on his website if anyone else is struggling with similar problems.

What’s on – Singing Classes Start in Competa

“Singing is a way to express all of my emotions. It has become an addiction. A day without singing is definitely not a good day.”

My name is Yanique, I’m 23 years old and I’m from Holland. Ever since I was a young girl, I have always loved to sing. After I graduated from high school I studied at the conservatory in Holland. Now I am a qualified singing teacher.

So, have you always wanted to sing but you don’t know how to start? Or have you been singing for some time already, but you notice problems with your voice, or you want to upgrade your singing repertoire?

Then don’t hesitate any longer, and contact me! In my opinion, everyone can sing. I teach young, old, advanced and un-advanced people.

Lessons are given at my apartment in the centre of Cómpeta, Calle Andalucía 45. A cosy space in a quiet area, with all possibilities to discover and train your voice.

*A singing lesson takes 45 minutes. In the first part we warm up the voice and work on some techniques. In the second part we work on a piece of music, in which we apply the singing techniques. Costs are €20,- per lesson.

Introduction Discount

*If you buy 10 lessons, you get two extra lessons for free!

*If you buy 20 lessons, you pay only €300,-. That means €5,- discount per lesson!

More dogs desperately needing homes

Give a Dog a Home Rescue Malaga have been asked by a UK couple to try and re-home their six small dogs. This is a critical situation, as they have to return to England due to chronic health problems and move into rented accommodation with their son where, unfortunately, they are not allowed to have pets.

They have been desperately trying to find homes but, as yet, have had little success, although it is possible we may have a home for one or, possibly, two. Are there any Digamites out there who could offer any of these little chaps/chapesses a home? We have many more photos and full information on each dog.

This is a family of dogs – a Mum (Yorkie cross aged 6 years), Dad (Chihuahua cross aged 4 years) and four offspring (3 girls and 1 boy aged 3 years).

If anyone can help, or knows of someone who may be able to help, please contact Sarah on 951 24 21 78 or emailtmsconsultants@hotmail.com

Processionary Caterpillars

In regards to Chris’s question regarding the dreaded Processionary Caterpillars, the answer is

Yes they do come out early when we have a mild winter like we are experiencing this year.

It stands to reason if it is colder higher in the mountains then they will start marching later in the year.

We have had reports that they are already on the move in some areas – so if there are pine trees near where you walk your dogs you should take extra precautions – like keeping them on a lead and carry a bottle of water to flush their mouths out in the event of an emergency.

Also, be vigilant to never let your dog pick up anything while it is on walkies as it could be poison and it is a good idea to keep your vet’s number in your mobile or handy at all times. Cheers and Happy New Year.

Question :- Sand on the Beach at Torrox

Do any Digamites in Digameland know what is going with the sand piled up on the beach near Laguna Beach, Torrox Costa?
For several weeks I’ve watched lorry after lorry drop off sand, it appeared some sort of break water was being built out to sea, however a week ago this disappeared and now there is a long line of sand piled up with a drop between that and the beach.

Does any one have a recommended insurer.

Rental – Investment Opportunity

My husband and I have been looking for a second home/investment property in La Herradura for a few years. I finally found a charming villa for sale which is structurally sound but in need of some modernization. This wonderful villa is on the Punta de la Mona overlooking the sea and is an easy walk to town.

Our goal is to use it 3 months a year ourselves – December through February and rent it out for residual income for 6 months during the summer season.

That would leave 3 months of use for our partner who can use it themselves or keep the full rental income from their 3 months.

The 6 month rental income would be shared. The long term appreciation would also be shared.

If this opportunity interests you, please contact us so we can meet in person to discuss this opportunity and to view the property of course.

Serious Inquiries only please.

The investment would require between $225,000 EU – $250,000.

Wanted Danish Oil & Filofax

Does any one know where to buy Danish oil for wood finishing. I couldn’t even find it in Malaga. I know that Argos stocks it, does anyone do Argos orders in Andalucia? I am in Torrox, but willing to drive.

On another subject, i’m looking for a refillable diary, the filofax kind (though not filofax prices) Eroski has the refills, but not the diaries, .

Lost Dog – Please Help

Has anyone seen my dog Bianca went missing from canillas de Albaida over the Christmas.
my email is ctx2e@hotmail.com

Message for Kate Morris

Hello to all in Digame land and happy new year to all.

If anyone out there knows Kate from Canillas de Albaida could you please get her to call or email me regarding a Ford Courier van which I bought from her last year. I emailed her awhile ago but have not had a reply.

After waiting months for the authorities in Malaga to transfer the ownership they informed me that they have lost the copy of her passport and so they can not transfer the ownership to me.

I am driving it on temporary documents at the moment but they tell me that this will not be allowed for much longer (even though they lost the paperwork) so it would remain in Kate’s name and she would be liable for any fines etc.

My email is cragb2015 at gmail dot com (all lower case, no spaces) tel: 693 047 935.

Many thanks,

Crag

Questions –

Processionary Caterpillars…..and Three Kings Processions

Hello, I have 2 very different questions and I wonder if anyone can help. If possible, could answers be sent to Digame as I think they might be of use to others too…

Could anyone let me know when our local processionary caterpillars are likely to start making their moves? Does the warmer weather mean that they are likely to be earlier than last year? Do ones on higher grounds (ie, the mountains) move at different times to any on lower ground?

I am asking because we have a rescue dog that sniffs at/eats anything and everything and want to make sure she is kept safe.

On a much nicer note, does anyone know the time of any of the local Three King’s Parades tomorrow evening? I haven’t been to one yet, so was thinking of maybe Competa, Torrox, Torrox Costa or Nerja.

Thank you in advance, for any information.

You can ring me on 649 307 966, e-mail chris@cpaircon.com

Ooooops

In today’s DigameXtra we noticed an ad for a metal ‘bedcage’ for S&M purposes which is distasteful and not in keeping with your normal content.

Obviously you can’t be expected to read every posting in detail and at first glance it looks like an animal cage.

We leave it to you to decide what action to take!!!

Many thanks for your hard work. We enjoy reading Digame every day.

Good wishes for 2016 . Neil and Diane

Naive Editor Responds : Well – just when you thought there was nothing to learn… actually a very early morning call from our daughter explained what it was and that enabled me to delete it from the website. (Then I worried how come she knew….)

The things you don’t know that you didn’t know! Actually, I rather wish I didn’t know!

Thanks for alerting me. I actually DO read every single email and correct more than 70% of them…but this……..Well!

Services Available – Auto Air Conditioning

My name is Mike of Autocool and have been successfully servicing and repairing car and vehicle air conditioning

systems in the area for the last eleven years. During this time I have built up a good ,honest reputation based on offering a mobile service to my customers at a reasonable price.

I must be doing something right as most of my customers keep coming back to me in repeat business.

I would also like to say that while I have been working on customers’ cars I have a general check round the car´s mechanics and you would be amazed at the number of engines that have little or no oil in them for example.

I am still operating in the area and just wish to point this out to solve any confusion that this editorial in Tuesday’s Digame may have caused to any of my faithful , longstanding customers.

I would like to take this opportunity to offer you all a Very Happy New Year.

For Sale Garden Items

Compost Bin AL-KO Aero Therm 400 Plus

Bought last year for €120 – happily used only one year as we are moving back to England.

Specially designed to turn garden waste into compost in record time by providing the ideal mixture of air and humidity, with the specific system consisting of a cone and a compost net flooring.

The grid-bound compost cone ensures that air circulates smoothly all the way through the centre of garden waste into the compost container.

Within a short time the waste is turned into clean compost, and the container is ready to be filled again. The Net-flooring keeps unwelcome animals out.

This is particularly important if the container is used for kitchen and household waste. Size 80x80x110 cm

Services Available – Auto air conditioning

I have been providing advice, service and repair of car air conditioning systems since 1998. I am happy to provide you with a free of charge check to ensure that your air conditioning system is working efficiently by testing the gas pressure to see if it has dropped. A drop in gas pressure will result in a loss of cooling efficiency which will make your engine work harder and in turn use more fuel.

My experience with car air conditioning means that I can deal with air conditioning faults and leak detection. I can find the specific problem and first try to repair it, rather than just going straight for expensive complete replacement.

I have experience in a diverse range of makes and models of car air conditioning systems, and I am able to solve problems in a fast and cost effective manner.

Air conditioning systems can be as useful in autumn and winter as they are in summer to quickly clear misting windscreens.

Air conditioning should be used regularly through the whole year to prevent leaks and prolong the life of the compressor and also avoid the build up of harmful bacteria.

It is recommended that you should recharge your air conditioning system every 2 years with gas and lubricant, in order to keep it running efficiently. This is not included as part of a routine car service and so it can often be overlooked.

A mini service & system re gas (R134a) still only 29.00 €

I am located on the Torrox to Competa road just by the Pavo Real Bar.

Mobile service now available please enquire.

Recommendation – Computer Man

I am writing this to tell everyone about an amazing computer man!

Awhile ago, a friend of mine, upgraded my laptop to Windows 10.

Everything was fine for a few weeks and then the computer crashed.

I immediately called the doctor, and was told the PC could be returned to windows 7or reinstalled Windows 10 at a much higher cost.

I decide to go back to Windows 7.

Upon receiving my computer back I saw that all my files, photos and programs were gone!!

I called David Fenton, who collected the laptop and within one week had recovered over 6,000 photos!!

This man is a genius!! Once again, my thanks David!
